Effect of ASAL on the development of BPH, GLH and WBPH insects. Twenty 1^st_- instar nymphs of BPH (Figure A), GLH (Figure B) and WBPH (Figure C) were released on untransformed controls and transgenic plants on day 0, after 24 days the number of nymphs which reached adult stage and the number of nymphs which remained immature because of delay in development on control and transgenic lines were plotted on the graph. Bioassays were carried out on 20 plants sampled from each transgenic line and two controls. Differences between control and transgenic plants were significant at p < 0.005 (ANOVA). Bars indicate mean ± SE. CC: Chaitanya control plants, BC: BPT5204 control plants, T₄₉ and T₅₁: Chaitanya homozygous lines, T₆₃: BPT5204 homozygous line.
